Big Wild Opens Up About Former Bout With Cancer And His Debut Album ‘Superdream’

Inspiration is a word that is thrown around a lot, and sometimes we take it for granted. Other times, individuals use life-changing events as drastic sources of inspiration.

When this happens, the results are the best…sometimes. This is just the case with Jackson Stell, aka Big Wild. The producer recently opened up about a previous bout with thyroid cancer in 2013. He details his struggle with depression, the disease, and surgeries that came with it.

Stell says this recovery and healthy turnaround is the inspiration behind his recent single “Maker,” and the music as a whole from his debut album Superdream.

In his Instagram post, he says:

“In a way, I’m thankful for my experience with cancer, because of how it changed my view on life. It gives me the courage to try new things and push myself, and gave me the courage to write all this music on Superdream.”
